It's 1985. AT&T's computer operating system is threatening to take over IBM's MS-DOS dominance.
Today, Linux powers the Android OS which is the dominant mobile OS on the market. It also powers the internet itself. It powers 95% of the worlds supercomputers and all (but one) of the worlds stock exchanges which national economies depend on. Linux is widely used by Google, IBM, Cisco, NASA and the US DoD just to name a few. Unix and the C language on which it was built are the foundation for everything we use today including Apple and MicroSoft.
But back then it was a bit of an enigma. How did this OS from the 1960s stack up against MS-DOS?
